I have ridden or raced since I was 12 years old. 125/250 intermediate. Last year I woke up one morning and I fell to the ground in pain. My whole lower body went numb. I wasnt able to move. I went to the emergency room and had a bunch of scans and xrays. What they found was l5/l6 herniated disk pressing on my nerves. They said it wont require surgery. I wasnt able to walk for 3 months. It has been about a year since this happened. This happend without even being in an accident. Anyway, I just picked up a blown up 125 for REAL cheap and my plan was to throw a new top end in it and sling it off. Now Im thinking I might want to keep it. (I sold my yz250f last year) Should I just go for it and ride? I am still not able to run, jog, or do any jarring of my back. Doctor says stay away from bikes. (dont they all?) If I just stick to trails and just go on fun trips with the friend to the desert should I be fine? No Glen helen practices, no LACR practices. I miss hitting tripples and big hits, but if I just stick to the trail riding and desert riding i think Ill get my fix. What do you guys suggest? My parents say now way. Im 26 and would rather look at others suggestions. Thanks, Shane
